[QUOTE="Dega Moo, post: 1162632, member: 19930"] If you have serious concern that the millet has high nitrate levels you could take some tissue samples to a local ag lab and have them tested to determine the actual level. Outside of maybe a $50 lab fee you'd be out your time to gather the sample and get it delivered to the lab nearest you. If you don't know where to find a nearby lab you could ask for advice from your local farm cooperative. The cost is relatively small compared to losing calves or breeding stock or giving up on the entire crop. I would think bush hogging the field would leave the crop on the ground where the cattle would likely graze it and remain exposed to the risk. Best of luck. [/QUOTE]
